Pesma za Evroviziju '24 is set to be the third edition of Pesma za Evroviziju, the national final organised by Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) to select the Serbian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. The selection will consist of two semi-finals held on 27 and 29 February 2024, respectively, and a final on 2 March 2024.[1][2]

Format

In 2023, RTS decided to once again organise the national final Pesma za Evroviziju to determine its representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.[3] The selection will consist of two semi-finals on 27 and 29 February 2024, and a final on 2 March 2024.[4]

Voting

In each semi-final, 14 contestants will compete, with eight of them advancing to the final. The winner of the final will be selected through a 50/50 combination of votes from a jury and from a public televote.[5] In all 3 shows, the jury and the televoting award one set of 12, 10 & 8–1 points each to their 10 favourite entries. Eight entries that scored the most points in each semi-final progressed to the final. The act with the most points in the final is declared the winner.[4][6]

Competing entries

On 26 July 2023, RTS opened an online form for interested artists to submit their entries. The submission period was supposed to last until 1 November 2023,[7][8] but the window was extended until 10 November a week before the intended closing.[9] Performers were required to hold Serbian citizenship, whilst there were no limitations as to whom could be a songwriter. At least 51% of lyrics of the submitted entries had to be in one of the official languages of Serbia.[5] At the closing of the deadline, a record 235 entries had been submitted. These were assessed by a dedicated committee at a listening round on 11 December 2023. 28 entries were then selected, and were announced on 21 December.[1][2][4][10]

Selected entrants include Konstrakta, winner of Pesma za Evroviziju '22, who represented Serbia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 and previously competed in Beovizija 2008 and 2009 as a part of the group Zemlja gruva!, and Bojana Radovanović, who represented Serbia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2018. Besides Konstrakta, returnees to the Serbian national final include Filarri, Filip Baloš and Nadia, who competed the previous year; Zorja, who competed in 2022; Zejna, who competed in both editions; Milan Bujaković, who competed the previous year and in Beovizija 2020; Ivana Vladović, who competed in the 2022 edition and Beovizija 2019; and Yanx, who competed at Beovizija 2009, Beosong 2013 and Beovizija 2019.
